HP HyperFabric manual Using the clicinit Command

Configuring HyperFabric

Performing the Configuration

	Using the clic_init Command
	Run the clic_init command to create the global configuration file.
	To view the man page for clic_init see “Viewing man Pages” on
	page 127 of this manual.
	To use clic_init to configure the Transparent Local Failover feature on
	HMP, see the section, “Configuring HMP for Transparent Local Failover
	Support - Using the clic_init command” on page 104.
IMPORTANT	If the global configuration file already exists and you are running
	clic_init again (to change the file), you have the option of retaining or
	modifying the existing configuration information, in addition to adding
	new information pertaining to new hardware.
	Also, once you have completed your changes and clic_init ends its
	processing, you must stop HyperFabric (by running the clic_shutdown
	command or using SAM) and then start HyperFabric (by running the
	clic_start command or using SAM). Otherwise, your configuration
	information changes will not take effect. See “Stopping HyperFabric” on
	page 128 and “Starting HyperFabric” on page 109 for more information.
	If you include /opt/clic/bin in your PATH statement, you can run the
	command as it is shown below. Otherwise, you must include
	/opt/clic/bin as part of the command name (that is,
	/opt/clic/bin/clic_init).
	You must be logged in as root to run this command.
	The syntax is as follows:
	clic_init [-c] [-?]
	where
	• -cspecifies that you want to create the global configuration file. You
	are prompted for the information described in “Information You
	Need” on page 71. Note that if the global configuration file already
	exists (for example, when you are adding an adapter to an existing
	fabric), clic_init prompts you with the existing configuration
	information. As you are prompted with each piece of information, you
	can then confirm that you want to keep it or you can change it.
